i need more stuff
i need it i need it now
gotta fix this craving
gotta scratch this itch
i need more..
tell me where
tell me how
i can get more, baby
cuz i ain't happy
show me the way
the way to fill me up
there's a sale today
a sale of souls
we've sold our spirits, baby
for higher profits
we were warned before
but we weren't listening
senses under siege
we couldn't pay attention
we can't keep living this way
but you know we'll keep on trying
until it's too late too late too late
to turn back turn back
gotta change it now
gotta change things right now
cuz we're running out of time
and we don't even know it
don't forget
the way things used to be
this moment in time
is gonna fade into memory
what we call sacred
has become an excuse
to fill up our lives with more material
i'll just close my eyes
pretending to celebrate the holy
while worshipping the purchase
something im' sure that christ would never do
change your name
you don't deserve it
watching the screens
with the pretty pretty people
in their pretty little clothes
tell me to get these pretty things
as soon as the product hits the line
we'll go out and waste our time
*****chorus*****
presents and packages don't do much for me
love and forgiveness have much greater meaning
tolerance, kindness, compassion and peace
these are a few of my favorite things
when my heart breaks, when the earth shakes
when the world's gone mad
if we only learned some of my favorite things
maybe this world wouldn't be so bad
